The doors are now open for Web3 and Web2 developers to build on Constellation Network’s long-awaited Hypergraph distributed ledger technology – in development for the past several years under various contracts with the US Department of Defense.
Constellation’s Global Metagraph Hackathon is a fully virtual event, free to enter, running from July 15th until September 9th, 2024. A total of $100,000 USD equivalent in $DAG (Constellation Network’s cryptocurrency) will be distributed to winners across several categories encompassing metagraph development and on-chain tooling, with the biggest single prize of $25,000 going to the most successful Metagraph.
With its Hackathon, Constellation officially unveils its “metagraph” application layer technology that runs on top of its Hypergraph global consensus layer to a worldwide audience. A metagraph can be any type of Layer 1 decentralized application (dApp) network or legacy Web2 network with its own internal business logic. Other blockchains can even be metagraphs on top of Constellation’s Hypergraph.
Constellation’s fast and feeless Hypergraph network is uniquely designed using DAG-based infrastructure and microservices to create an underlying digital transfer layer with a flexible structure and application network overlay (metagraph). This facilitates interoperability and composability across both Web3 and legacy Web2 networks, offering network security, data validation, scalability, and simplified onboarding that businesses and governments need for adoption.
“Interoperability” is a buzz word in the Web3 space, it can be explained as all the networks that need to talk to other networks – like a smart factory or city where multiple networks of IoT devices communicate and share data, each with its own unique metagraph network communicating across the underlying Hypergraph.
Constellation’s metagraphs can work with any data type, interface directly with external data sources, accept existing Scala or Java libraries, give complete control over validation and consensus logic within the network, and scale to the level applications need through multilayered microservice architecture.
Judging
Hackathon submissions will be judged Sept 16-23, 2024, and winners will be announced on or around Sept. 30th. Hackathon judges include:
Users can download the Stargazer Wallet to hold $DAG.
